I've been washing my eyes with tap water every few hours lately, but they started burning every time I did it. I just discovered that the Dettol Liquid Handwash I use might not rinse off completely and could be the reason for the burning and irritation in my eyes. I skipped washing my eyes today and haven't experienced any symptoms. Could this soap residue be causing problems for my eyes in the long run?
